Saving Contacts when switching to WM6?

Hey,
When I got my new Hermes I had to go through every single one of my contacts and change them from something like "P;John /M" to their regular names..I don't want to do this again, and would like to know how to save these when switching from WM5 to WM6..I tried searching and they were saying you can't just save the database etc etc because of changing formats so I need some help..
I don't have the data package, don't have anything on outlook set-up, but have a computer with activesync working, and also a 2gb card.
What would be the easiest way to save these while upgrading? Is there anywhere to look for step-by-step instructions so I can't screw anything up?
Thanks everyone!

You do use ActiveSync right ?
Also PIM Backup should work.

Yea, am I missing something? What is the best way to back these up so I can make sure everything is alright? Is there a really easy way to back up and restore my photos etc as well? I am just trying to drag them to another folder, and I think this is what I did on my original upgrade, but when I did it then I hadn't changed my contacts or anything else yet so I really am clueless.
I feel like a complete idiot..I have programmed in php/mysql and been on computers my whole life, and now I am asking people for help with the simplest of things.

By - the - way,
I found both of these using this:

Sorry,
I actually already looked at that and was just stuck on this point..I still don't know how to save my contacts? The contacts at first came from my SIM with the formatting I talked about. I changed that, and don't know if I upgrade will they default back to the old things? Also how about the ones I saved to the phone and then put a default picture with them?
The thing I was doing was simply clicking the explore icon in activesync and then trying to drag the files in that folder into a new folder(which wasn't actually working at all)..I know I must be missing something simple, and I am sorry for bringing such a newbie question into a experienced users forum.

Thank you, I didn't ever see the google thing. I had searched the forums to no avail though. Thank you for the help and I will do the rest on my own

Oh Yea, Welcome to xda-developers.
When I first joined I also had the most difficult time finding what I was looking for using xda-developers forum search.
I really like that Google Search.
Thanks to Mike the Mod.

Softkey on SMS inbox

Hello,
i've flashed my german T-Mobile MDA with an Windows Mobile 6 O2 Image.
When i go to the sms inbox the left softkey is set on the "delete"-function.
Before flashing to windows mobile 6 there was the "new"-function attached. This is IMHO much more useful against delete which you can also do in the context-menu quick and easy.
How can i get it back? Is there any registry hack ore something i didn't found yet?
Thanks for help.

Agree with you....very strange this function...

noticed this too - wired, 2 extra button presses... i suppose they need to warrant the new version some way!

Well I prefer it
I much prefer having the delete in the left softkey... brilliant improvement, especially if using for email... quick look at the message in the list and delete it... much beter than having the new button there.

It your only reply who prefer it to be like this.
I have searched the whole world for this thread & saw nobody saying "I prefer".
I don't know who the hell MS* researched for this preference.

Did you ask though?
Because I prefer it too, but I don't feel the need to announce all my preferences to the world as routine.
Well except;
I love Jaffa Cakes

Maybe anybody solved this "problem"?

one note

hi everone,
i was wondering if there is a program on hermes that is like one note on the desktop. i mean with rich features.
the best one i found was creative notes, but i need more functionality.
any suggestions?
thanks
MMM

Guess onenote for ppc doesn't cut it for you then.
Any particular functionality you have in mind, or do you just want it to do stuff?
Edit: Upon reading it, that post sounded really sarcastic. It was only meant to be kinda sarcastic and kinda asking for more information so I might help.

if you used one note on desktop pc you will know what i mean. i mean that it organizes notes under major categories and also by date.
sorry if i wasnt clear in the first post
MMM

Verenaa,
Larsuck was trying to tell you that one note also exists for the ppc/pda. So if you like it that much on your PC you can also get it for your portable PDA.

Custom Ringtones on HD7 via SSH?

Hello, I have a pretty simple question: Can custom ringtones and notification tones
be put on the HD7 via SSH? I know when I had my iPhone I was able to go into
it and add ringtones, change sms notifications, etc. Just wondering why this isn't
an option.

not a programmer/coder/hacker, I'm a tinkerer who stands on the shoulders of
giants. So please, don't be a ****, there's always one in the bunch who likes for
everyone to know how smart he is.

buddy im the same loved the whole ssh on the iphone to change anything you wanted to do tones effectscustomise the screen ..
got tired of the iphone and bought a new hd7 and unlocked it ..
loved it all the windows stuff in 1 place videos music Xbox intregation stuff like that..
than .. freezing phone no updates . bad call alerts .its not the loudest phone in the world either .. found lots of little bugs id didnt like .. lots of them..
brought phone back to shop and am now going back to iphone 4 when it arrives in the shop should be today..whooo who . jailbreaking i love it..
until hackers and other developers jump on this phone it will have to wait for a place in my pocket again..
now i do love the phone and its features its just that well i miss just tinkering like you said and im no hacker myself ..
hope you get an answer .. there is chipron7 or something like that you install on your pc and can side load tones to the phone form that program but its kinda well hard for me anyhow ..
best of luck with the phone mate

to add ringtones at the moment you have to developer unlock it using the chevron program, load your ringtones into their apk and side load it onto the phone.
I would wait and see if they make it into the first update before going through all that trouble.
